FIVE members of Blackheath & Bromley have been selected to represent the Great Britain junior team at the Loughborough international match this Sunday.

The fixture has established itself as the first major domestic event of the season and is one of the few opportunities for the U20 athletes to gain an international vest.

Both hammer selections are club members.

Andrew Jordon represents the men and has thrown 66.34m this season, more than four and a half metres further than the second ranked athlete.

Sophie Hitchon's record this season is even more impressive.

Hitchon is a second claim member of the club, (her first claim club is Blackburn) and last weekend she broke the British record for the second time this season at the Halleschen Erdgas meeting at Halle in Germany, where she improved her previous best by 15cm with a throw of 65.98m.

This is nearly eight metres ahead of the second ranked U20 and leaves her second ranked in the senior age group.

Lorraine Ugen has been selected for the women's long jump.

She has jumped the furthest outdoors this year with a distance of 6.03.

Dan Putnam and Frederica Foster have both been picked for the 4x400m metres.

Putman, the Kent 200 and 400m champion, is third ranked in the country with his 48.35.

Foster, who is a first claim with South London Harriers and who won both the Kent Senior and Junior 400m titles, has run an impressive 56.09 this summer.
